Wendell Haston was filmed by his friend Jacob Deathridge sliding down a snow-covered hill on a bin lid in Tennessee last week, but the pump wasn't visible at the bottom of the hill.

Although laying in agony on the ground, his friends could be heard and seen rushing to help, but giggling at the sight.

Jacob, who posted the video onto Facebook, told the Mirror Online: ''Yes, he was very sore but went back to work two days later.''

He went home in pain, but his pal later confirmed that Wendell was not badly injured.
